< Episode 163
Jeongcheonmaengju’s office.
There is a beautiful young man lost in thought under the moonlight coming through the window.
‘Master’
Yeon Myeong traced back memories of a distant past. I don’t really remember our first meeting. It seems that she was simply attracted by the promise of keeping her from going hungry during a time when it was difficult to make ends meet. He had said that he would pass on everything he had, and he seemed to have been captivated by the sound of the hem of clothes made of expensive cast and hem gently brushing against each other. Did you hold his outstretched hand like that?
He called himself a sword demon. It means a ghost crazy about swords. The way he elaborated like that seemed somehow satisfying.
At the same time, the name was not revealed. Since the Sword Demon would already be known to the world as dead anyway, is there any need to know his name that has disappeared?
―All I need is a name for the principal to call you….. Yes, from now on your name will be dragon.
In this way, a name was created to succeed the Sword Demon. I wasn’t able to ask in detail at the time, but it felt like Master Swordsman had organized the world in his own way.
After completing the Eoyeongbuyeong Gubaejirye, every day was a continuation of training. As time passed, she learned why her master, Sword Demon, chose her.
-You were born with the same power delay as me. Compared to criminals, they age at a slower rate and are guaranteed longevity. This is because the blood vessels are naturally strong. It can be said that a bloodline that is not easily lost is a quality to enter the martial arts of this country.
Sword Demon’s martial arts is based on defeat. Through the Power of Defeat method, it was possible to build up an extremely strong energy called the True Power of Defeat in a short period of time, but it came at a fatal cost. Damage to blood vessels and shortened lifespan—the power of defeat is extremely harsh. Even though it follows the lead, it is just as violent as the retrograde. Every time the vital energy flows through the meridians of the body, large or small damage occurs in the blood vessels. The more you practice fortune, the more internal injuries accumulate. There was a certain resemblance to the demonic magic experienced by those who have learned martial arts.
However, in cases where one was born with a delay in dragon power, he was able to deal with the power of defeat without difficulty due to the strength of his blood vessels. Take advantage of only the advantages of being uneducated and rarely experience the disadvantages. Thanks to this, the man who was called Yong (容), his natural name in his previous life, was able to complete Internal Qigong very quickly.
‘Come to think of it’
It suddenly occurred to me that the name of my past life that came to mind had a different meaning.
Originally, the word ‘yong’ meant to contain a shape, appearance, or something. Ever since the name was created, it has been understood to mean containing something like the wishes or wishes of the master, the Sword Demon, or a request to follow the ultimate intention of the sword.
However, now that I have heard the message left by the person in the Moyong family.
The name ‘Moyong (慕容)’ somehow struck me as unusual. Perhaps the name of my previous life given by my teacher was taken from there. True to his title as a swordsman, the master focused only on practicing swordsmanship, and he never once spoke about your true identity. I’ve never been curious about ‘dragons’ either,
However, there were quite a few things I felt as ‘Yong’ finally reached the level of a swordsman, and after facing death, lived again with ‘life.’ While he longed for a normal life, he felt maternal affection and friendship, and even felt the responsibility of shouldering the lives of many people. His master, the Sword Demon, was by no means a benevolent person, but as he said, he was the one who passed on everything he had to him. Now that he has experienced the wisdom of his mother, he can confirm. He said that the Sword Demon was like a father to him.
That’s why I couldn’t ignore the small clue that was just revealed.
‘Mo’ means missing or following.
Lord Jeongcheon thought while muttering, “I’m sorry.” Maybe the ‘dragon’ is missing the sword spirit.
The thoughts stopped there.
“I came as you were called.”
There was someone who made his presence known outside the office. He is a man who has been granted an audience with the leader after conveying three words: sword spirit (劍鬼), dragon power (龍力之體), and defeat (敗力).
“Listen.”
Perhaps because I was thinking about my past life, the lowering of my name was more natural than ever. The spirit of the sword came out naturally. Therefore, the man’s expression was full of tension as he carefully opened the door and entered. He politely put his hands together and greeted the leader, who was standing in the moonlight. It didn’t even occur to me that the other person was a young man who had not yet reached the terms of service.
“Meeting the lord. My name is Mo Yong-hwi.”
“He wanted to see me.”
Yeon Myeong turned around and said. There is no sign of using any special eye techniques, but the sparkling eyes are fierce, as if they can see through anything. Mo Yong-hwi swallowed dry saliva for no reason and then opened his mouth.
“Yes, the meeting with Master Jaun… At that time, the leader said that the key to defeating Daoist Buddhism and Martial Arts was in defeat.”
To be precise, it was said that it was in the power of defeat, including escape and attachment, but that was not the important thing.
“As far as I know, power is a concept that appears in the martial arts of a peerless swordsman called the Sword Demon of old. And while Lord Maeng is a Tang Dynasty figure famous for his memorization and poison, he has also reached a renowned level of swordsmanship.”
“If my guess is correct, the leader would have succeeded the Sword Demon’s martial arts. “I wonder how Maengju came into contact with him and whether he fully mastered his martial arts skills.”
Mo Yong-hwi was in a desperate mood. This is a place where the family disappeared at the hands of Ma Gwang-cheonju. He committed himself to the Jeongcheon Alliance to avenge his revenge on the magic power, but that was all. He doesn’t have time for him. Because he had mastered the martial arts of the Sword Demon, he was able to achieve achievements far superior to those of his peers, but he was destined to die young. Every time he practices fortune telling, he feels that his blood vessels are getting damaged every moment.
Therefore, I hoped that Yeon Myeong would make progress as a swordsman. At the very least, if he were a later person, wouldn’t he be able to avenge the Mo Yong family’s grudge on his behalf? Yeon Myeong, who became the leader of Jeongcheon, seemed to have the power to do that. Of course, there were some unclear points. The place where the Tomb of the Sword Demon was discovered is Liaoning. In common sense, it seemed unlikely that the connection would have reached the Tang family of Sichuan.
However, things that go beyond common sense often happen in the world.
“…What kind of relationship did Master have with the Mo Yong family?”
“!!”
Mo Yong-hwi’s eyes widened. Lord Yeon-myeong of Jeongcheon confirmed that he had inherited the martial arts of the Sword Demon. This fact made Mo Yong-hwi feel turbulent. Weren’t all of their blood relatives exterminated by Ma Gwang-cheon? I was thinking that I was alone in the world, but someone who shared the same martial arts skills suddenly appeared before my eyes. Since he was famous all over the world for his martial arts skills, I couldn’t help but be impressed. The martial arts of Geomgeum is the martial arts of Moyongga. Look, our Moyong’s martial arts skills are so outstanding…!
“wait. Now I see that you too have learned the art of defeat. If this is the case, should we call it the same gate?”
I didn’t know that the death penalty would be introduced now, but Mo Yong-hwi made a decision as he watched Yeon-myeong mumbling like that. He said he had no doubts. You can tell at a glance that he has learned the art of defeat. Mo Yong-hwi began speaking in a trembling voice.
“The person called the Sword Demon was originally a member of our Moyong family…”
“What about Hamza?”
“…Well, it’s a bit strange to consider it a coincidence.”
When Yeon Myeong asked Master’s name, Mo Yong Hwi hesitated a little before continuing.
“His name is also Yeonmyeong (延命). Moyong joint name. “It wasn’t his well-known name.”
“Is there a story?”
The priest’s name is the same. He said it was a strange coincidence, but it was also likely. His natural name was, and he knew why his mother named him that way. It meant that you had to survive the family’s neglect and pressure somehow and survive, even if it was only a slender amount of time. What was the master like?
“I’m not sure, but he was born as an illegitimate son of a family. I wonder if there were various issues surrounding the succession structure at the time…”
It was over two hundred years ago. Because of Mo Yong-ga’s extraordinary interest in the Sword Demon, even though there were quite a few records about him, Mo Yong-hwi could not understand all the details. Yeon Myeong could only guess what Sabu’s childhood was like based on fragmentary information.
“It was revealed belatedly that the Sword Demon was born with a retarded dragon power. In the first place, retardation of energy has no special characteristics other than strong blood vessels. Rather, the reason he received attention was because of his swordsmanship. It is said that before he reached Jihak (志學: 15 years old), he mastered all of his family’s swordsmanship and even attempted to create a German martial arts style.”
Yeon Myeong was a person who knew better than anyone else in the world the power of the swords created by his master, the Sword Demon. Not long ago, I had an encounter with the Great Master of Apostle Muhak. He was a person who could easily understand the principles of martial arts just by looking at the black snake master Yoo Gil-jun. However, it was a natural thought that even he could not surpass the Sword Demon when it came to sword skills.
“At that time, the elders of the family tried to place Mo Yong Yeon-myeong in the position of Sogaju, despite the limitations of his status as an illegitimate son. Even though the legitimate eldest son was already in the position of Sogaju.”
It was a situation where internal strife could easily break out – Mo Yong-hwi, who had said that, opened his mouth again.
“But fortunately, Mo Yong Yeon-myeong voluntarily left the family. He left a warning not to come back until he perfected his sword skills, so do not look for him. It was ten years later that a being called the Sword Demon appeared in the martial arts world.”
It was unknown what kind of training Mo Yong Yanming had done over the past ten years. However, when he reappeared, he had completed his own martial arts skills. For a time, he competed with many strong men and killed evil enemies, earning him the nickname of a sword-crazed ghost.
After learning that the sword demon’s identity was none other than Mo Yong Yuanming, the Mo Yong family approached him and encouraged him to return to the Iman family. By the time he eliminated the Three Breasts with his single body, the Sword Demon was already the best swordsman in the world. If you can obtain his martial arts skills, wouldn’t Mo Yong’s family suddenly become the best swordsman in the world?
However, the sword spirit did not return to his family. She said she hasn’t perfected her swordsmanship yet.
They didn’t even grant military education. They say that it cannot be passed on to a child who is not born with delayed energy.
“I couldn’t hastily reveal that he was from the original family. Because there were so many benefactors, at some point, the Sword Demon completely disappeared. At home, we continued to follow his traces. “For a very long time.”
And I finally found the legacy he left behind – Mo Yong-hwi’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke about the tomb of a sword and demon. This was because it was a story directly related to the extinction of the family.
